“I cannot praise highly enough the Inner Temple Library blog. The librarians provide a comprehensive survey of the legal world as they locate and dispense relevant information from a wide variety of sources, from government websites, to professional organisations in addition to both mainstream and legal media; it is rather like having your own personal desktop librarian hunting out interesting articles for you.”
